Hiki i nā kānaka ke kūkākūkā inā he olakino nā kānaka a pau i ka meaʻai vegan, akā ʻaʻohe mea e kūkākūkā i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e piʻi ana ka mākeke no nā huahana vegan. ʻOiai ʻo ka vegans he 2,5% wale nō o ka heluna kanaka US (ʻelua ʻelua e like me ka makahiki 2009), ʻo ka mea hoihoi loa ʻo 100 miliona mau kānaka (ma kahi o 33% o ka heluna US) ua lilo i mea ʻai i ka meaʻai vegan/vegetarian. ʻoi aku ka pinepine me ka ʻole o ka meaʻai.
Akā, he aha kā lākou ʻai? Soy sausage a i ʻole kale? He aha ko lākou manaʻo no nā mea ʻono kō a me nā ʻiʻo pahu hoʻāʻo? Ke manaʻo nei kahi noiʻi hou e ka Vegetarian Resource Group (VRG) e pane i kēia mau nīnau.
Ua kauoha ʻo WWG iā Harris Interactive e alakaʻi i kahi noiʻi kelepona aupuni no kahi laʻana o ka poʻe pane mai 2030, me nā vegans, nā mea ʻai meaʻai a me nā poʻe makemake i ka meaʻai meaʻai. Ua nīnau ʻia ka poʻe pane i ka mea a lākou e kūʻai ai mai nā huahana meaʻai meaʻai, ua hāʻawi ʻia iā lākou he mau pane. Ua hōʻike ʻia ka noiʻi ʻana i nā hopena hoihoi (a he mea kahaha iki) e pili ana i nā koho meaʻai i hana ʻia e nā vegans, vegetarians, a me nā mea nīnau:
1. Makemake nā kānaka a pau i nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo hou aku: ʻEkolu hapahā o ka poʻe i noiʻi ʻia (me nā vegans, vegetarians, a me nā poʻe hoihoi i ka meaʻai meaʻai meaʻai) i ʻōlelo ʻia e makemake lākou e kūʻai i kahi huahana i loaʻa i nā lau lau ʻōmaʻomaʻo e like me ka broccoli, kale, a i ʻole nā lau collard. He kanahikukumamāhiku pakeneka o nā vegans i noiʻi ʻia e koho lākou i nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo, me nā hui ʻē aʻe e hōʻike ana i nā hopena like.
Ka Hopena: Kūlike ʻole i ka manaʻo nui, ʻaʻole noʻonoʻo ka poʻe e koho ana i nā meaʻai mea kanu e pili ana i nā meaʻai i hoʻoponopono ʻia a i ʻole nā mea hoʻohālike vegan o kā lākou kīʻaha ʻiʻo punahele, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o lākou e koho i ke koho mea kanu olakino. ʻIke ʻia e like me kēia noiʻi, ʻo ka veganism kahi koho olakino!
2. Makemake ʻo Vegans i nā meaʻai holoʻokoʻa: ʻOiai he maikaʻi nā hopena holoʻokoʻa ma kēia māhele, ua ʻike ka noiʻi e koho pono nā vegans i nā meaʻai holoʻokoʻa olakino e like me ka lentils, chickpeas a i ʻole raiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā hui ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka mea e mahalo ai, he 40 pakeneka o nā mea ʻai meaʻai i ʻōlelo ʻaʻole lākou e koho i nā meaʻai holoʻokoʻa. ʻO ka poʻe i ʻai i hoʻokahi meaʻai meaʻai meaʻai a ʻoi aku paha i ka pule i pane maikaʻi aʻe.
Ka Hopena: ʻOiai ua ulu nui ka mākeke no nā meaʻai vegan i hoʻoponopono ʻia i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ʻike ʻia ka makemake nui o nā vegans i nā meaʻai holoʻokoʻa, ʻoi loa ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā hui ʻē aʻe. ʻAi ka poʻe meaʻai i ka liʻiliʻi o nā meaʻai holoʻokoʻa. He nui paha ka cheese?
3. Pono no ka ʻike e pili ana i ke kō: Ma lalo o ka hapalua o ka poʻe i noiʻi ʻia i hōʻike ʻia e kūʻai lākou i mea ʻai me ke kō inā ʻaʻole i kuhikuhi ʻia ke kumu o ke kō. ʻO 25% wale nō o nā vegans i ʻōlelo e kūʻai lākou i ke kō i hoʻopaʻa ʻole ʻia, ʻaʻole ia he mea kupanaha no ka mea ʻaʻole he vegan ke kō a pau. ʻO ka mea kupanaha, ma waena o ka poʻe ʻai ʻiʻo e ʻai i ka meaʻai meaʻai meaʻai hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha i ka pule, ua kiʻekiʻe nō hoʻi ke kiʻekiʻe o ka hopohopo no ke kumu o ke kō.
Ka Hopena: Ua hōʻike ʻia ka hopena o ka noiʻi i ka pono e hoʻopaʻa inoa i nā huahana i loaʻa ke kō e nā mea hana a me nā hale ʻai.
4. Ke ulu nei ka mākeke no nā sandwich vegan: Ma kahi kokoke i ka hapalua o ka poʻe i noiʻi ʻia e kūʻai lākou i kahi meaʻai meaʻai a vegan paha mai Subway. ʻOiai ʻaʻole maikaʻi kēia koho i nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā meaʻai holoʻokoʻa i ke kaulana, ʻoiaʻiʻo he wahi kēia i hōʻike ʻia e nā hui āpau i ka hoihoi like.
Ka Hopena: e like me ka WWG i hōʻike ai, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kaulahao meaʻai a me nā hale ʻaina i hoʻohui i nā veggie burgers i kā lākou mau menus a he mea kūpono paha iā lākou e hoʻonui i kēia koho a hāʻawi i nā koho sandwich hou aʻe.
5. ʻO ka nele o ka hoihoi i ka ʻiʻo mahiʻai: Me ka piʻi ʻana o ka heluna kanaka a me ka piʻi nui ʻana o ka makemake i ka ʻiʻo ma nā ʻāina ulu, ke hana nei nā ʻepekema i nā ala hoʻomau e hana ai i ka ʻiʻo i loko o ka lab. Kākoʻo kekahi mau hui mālama holoholona i kēia mau hana no ka mea ʻo ia ka hopena o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā holoholona no ka meaʻai.
Eia naʻe, i ka nīnau ʻia ʻana o ka poʻe pane inā e kūʻai lākou i ka ʻiʻo i ulu ʻia mai ka DNA holoholona i loaʻa i 10 mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ʻo ia hoʻi, me ka ʻole o ka hānai maoli ʻana i ka holoholona, ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa ka hopena. ʻO 2 pakeneka wale nō o nā vegans i noiʻi ʻia i pane i ka ʻae, a he 11 pākēneka wale nō o nā mea pane (me ka poʻe ʻai ʻiʻo) i hōʻike i ka hoihoi i ia mau huahana. Ka hopena: E hoʻoikaika nui ʻia e hoʻomākaukau i nā mea kūʻai aku no ka manaʻo o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻiʻo i ulu i ka lab. ʻO kēia kahi kahi e koʻikoʻi ai ka lepili kikoʻī, me ke kumukūʻai, palekana a me ka ʻono. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻae ʻia ʻana o ka ʻiʻo i ulu ʻia mai DNA holoholona i loko o kahi lab.
He hana mua nui kēia noiʻi ʻana i nā meaʻai mea kanu, akā he nui nā ʻike e hōʻiliʻili ʻia mai nā noiʻi e hiki mai ana.
No ka laʻana, he mea hoihoi ke aʻo e pili ana i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe e pili ana i nā meaʻai vegan ponoʻī, nā mea pani i nā mea kanu a me nā mea ʻē aʻe o ka waiū, a me nā huahana kūlohelohe, GMO a me ka aila pāma.
Ke ulu a ulu nei ka mākeke vegan, e like me ka ʻike honua o ke olakino, ka pono o nā holoholona, ka palekana o ka meaʻai a me nā pilikia kūlohelohe, hiki ke loli ke ʻano o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka manawa. He mea hoihoi loa ia ke nānā aku i ka hoʻomohala ʻana o kēia wahi i ka US, kahi e hoʻololi nui ai i nā meaʻai mea kanu.
